TOKEN ASIAN - Upon graduating and moving to New York, Token Asian was confused to find that casting directors in the real world wouldn't hire her for middle-aged black female roles, since that was her only "type" in college. But Token Asian followed her dreams and now works on Broadway...as a receptionist at a financial company near the corner of 48th Street.
She waits patiently, collecting cat figurines until the day she reaches her mid-40's...when she was told she would finally be "castable." She blames her theatrical career's stagnancy on "not enough Flower Drum Songs" and the cancellation of M*A*S*H, making Asians less visible in entertainment.
